Hymn to the sea

In all too many churches, the pianist is locked into a rotation of favorite hymns or praise & worship songs. Playing them repeatedly is monotonous for both the player and the congregation! This book was created to give church pianists options, and let them add color and freshness to familiar melodies. Includes: 12 traditional harmonizations of familiar melodies (seasonal & non-seasonal); 12 new arrangements of the same songs featuring altered chords (mostly jazz harmonies); and a Cool Chords section featuring 3 chords from each arrangement.

Now from Word Music's top arrangers comes this great sequel to the bestselling Big Blue Book (00309713). This piano solo songbook is packed with nearly 60 popular P&W songs, classic hymns, and seasonal favorites. Each song is specifically arranged for pianists at the intermediate level, chord symbols are included and the key signatures go no higher than 3 sharps or 4 flats. Songs include: Above All Ě Forever Ě Lord Have Mercy Ě Mary, Did You Know? Ě No Greater Love Ě There Is None Like You Ě and many more.

Whether you need special music for the seasons of the church year (Advent, Christmas, Easter, Epiphany, Lent, Palm Sunday, etc.) or any other Sunday of the year, A Solo a Sunday is a must-have for your music library. Each arrangement is brand new and easy to play, requiring little or no practice.
